Why Irene Montero does not carry a Louis Vuitton (and should)

A bag is a very serious thing.Even more in Spain, the only country on the planet that was governed by one during a June 2018 desktop that left mother.The bag, owned by Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría, was huge, of those in which one puts the whole life before leaving home in case, as it was, lengthens.Already before I looked at the bags of others not as a symptom of good or bad taste, but as a declaration of intentions.

When my grandmother Julia died, 10 years ago, my mother gave me an envelope with 800 euros and the alliance that premiered the day she married my grandfather Gregorio.With that money I bought a bag that I still keep.It is soft, it ages better than Brad Pitt and when I have a problem with the bandit, I go to the store, they treat me like someone important, they send it to Italy and they return it to me like new without going through the box.Hedonism, we like it or not, is a cozy, warm shelter, away from misfortune.

A Louis Vuitton bag is incompatible with a woman in the United Podemos, who would never dare to spend a money on such a

This week, Irene Montero appeared in the Equality Commission of the Congress of Deputies.To her right, a Louis Vuitton bag posed.The Monogram model, to be more exact.A good, not cheap bag, of the most imitated, of those of leaving two zeros as little.Another declaration of intentions.

Full of logos, unable to go unnoticed.Incompatible with a woman in unidos Podemos, who would never dare to spend a money in such a luxury object, belonging to a French conglomerate, pure oligopoly with the smell of power.Irene Montero no.Not because she can't, but because she doesn't want to.

Por qué Irene Montero no lleva un Louis Vuitton (y debería)

The matter generated some controversy.In social networks, I clarify, we don't spend either.Bulos manufacturers launched the fan because without a minute of glory they do not know how to live.His followers, Davidianos without containment and rest, came to his call.Then it was learned that the bag was from Carmen Calvo.But it was too late, as almost always.

In Spain, the skin industry has three epicenters.La Rioja for little leather goods, Elda for footwear, Ubrique for bags and other complements.From the Sierra de Grazalema, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Dior and Nina Ricci's bags come out.Also of Commes de Garçons, among other brands.Objects of desire incompatible with those who are concerned about social justice, precariousness, inequalities, child poverty, access to housing.

France, Italy and Japan are the main destinations of our exports, according to the data of the Spanish Association of Moroccanic Manufacturers, a sector that generates more than 16,000 direct jobs and more than 8,500 indirect.Only bags, an object whose manufacturing requires 90 decisions, generated in Spain a business of almost 1.9 billion euros.We have already said that a bag is a very serious thing.

There has been much talk and written a lot about fashion and ideology.There has been less, I believe, of the demagogy that projects who gets defensive.Because the stupid and tired is not that a left -wing woman is criticized for carrying a luxury bag, because it is all that and more.

What happens to me is that the response of the team that accompanies the minister is to pose before a camera, haraneras, with the bags they carry

The surprising thing, what happens to me, is that the response of the team that accompanies the minister in the equal portfolio is to pose before a camera, haraneras, precious and proud like the bikina, with the bags they carry.A kind of "we are different, not like the others", an exercise of past inconsistency.

Because the true left that says flag united we can defend the decent working conditions and the traceability of a product that will never have a bag of just a handful of euros, manufactured in little sustainable conditions from any point of view.

The true left defends the decent working conditions and the traceability of a product that will never have a bag of a few euros

Is this a defense at ultranza and without nuances of the luxury industry?No, because it is enough to read ‘Deluxe, when luxury lost its splendor’, the book of the American journalist Dana Thomas in which he describes the shadows of a millionaire industry and often cheat.But it is even more interesting to read another more recent book by the same author, ‘Fashionopolis’, to verify that the current consumption model, voracious, cheap, without measure, leads us to poverty and precariousness.

That is why I believe that the matter, beyond gag and tweet, deserves a somewhat more leisurely reflection and that we ask ourselves some questions.For example, is it left -handed buying a bag of 20 euros or a 'pack' of socks for five?
